Genji stode up looking round the room. His eyes locked onto Raiu and Amai. He looked down at the flood now, thinking of Akane. "You make a great rival, Raiu..." He then backed up into the wall, sliding down it. He then lost Consciousness...

Raiu raise his arm and brushed a tear away from Amai's face. "I'm not dead yet, my bittersweet." Raiu looking into Amai's eyes. God those eyes were incredible, so was the rest of her body. "Now I want to go home with you, have a very long sleep and cuddle. Maybe we could have a shower too." He winked and tried to laugh, finding to his dismay that it hurt to laugh, it seemed he was running on pure adrenilene the past few hours. "You too Genji."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You all know I'm bleeding to death over here. And Tsubame you owe me 300 ryu."

He said quietly to Kurigari, a small smile forming at his lips. Fei looked up at everyone, a relieved expression on his face.

Fei: It's finally over.

Taiyou leaned up against the wall, completely drained from the entire mission. He had never been so exhausted in his life. He looked at Raiu and Amai when he heard a small sniffle. Amai turned away. She was happy that everything was now settled. But, a heavy weight was still on her heart. She had lost so many loved ones. A tear streamed down her face. Then another, and another.

Tsubame and Fei looked sadly at her, feeling a deep sadness as well. Amai shook, hanging her head so that her hair covered her face. Tears and more tears fell, splashing on the stone floor. After everything that had happened, she had to pour out her anguish. She clenched her fists that were on the floor. She couldn't stop crying.

Fei: Amai...

He paused when she shook her head slowly.

Amai: They didn't deserve to die... None of them... They were so lost, and afraid...

She drew in a shuddering sob. The tears would not stop. She continued to cry.

Shimomaru heard Amai speak of "Others" he thought the blue haired girl was the only one who died but it seemed that he was mistaken. He couldn't nor wanted to even begin to know what she felt so he wated pastiently for the moment of sddness to past.

Yasashiku couldn't help but feel sorry for Amai. It was his fault one of her old friends died. Deep down, he also felt some sort of pain in his chest. The pain of actually killing...never in his life has he done something so harsh as that. And aside from that...the only person he had ever killed, had happened to be one of his friend's old time buddy. The pain of just that, it overwhelmed him. He wonders about how badly Amai must feel. He managed to walk over to Amai, watching her, watching the streams down her face.

"He won't be coming back Amai. He'll never hurt you again, not after what me and Taiyou did to him." Raiu managed to prop himself on his elbow, and with his other arm put it around Amai, "We're safe, we can go home now."

"Your friends are welcome to come as well. Yasa, if you don't mind send one of your Cheatah's to send for a Konoha medical team to meet us halfway home, most of us should be able to make it that far if we help eachother."

Chendin took out a leaf and turned it into a napkin. She limped over to Amai and whiped her tears.

CHendin: Amai, you must have gone through alot. I have lived for over 200 years. I have seen these types of things many times. I have to say, you never get used to it. You have to try and comfert and honor your decesed friends now, and remeber: It is not your fault. Got it?

Yasashiku nodded at Kurigari. Flinching as he bit his thumb, he pressed his hands against the ground, and using the little chakra he had left, he summoned his leopard.

Yasashiku: Kabegame...I need you to get to Konoha...find Miharu, tell her to get the medical nin's here...tell her we're at the Waterfall village...

Kabegame then took off, tracing down their scent back to Konoha. When he got to Yasa's house, he told Miharu and she nodded and ran off to the medical nin's place. She told them about who needed them and about their location, and the medical nin's followed Kabegame, with Miharu on his back, to the trail to the Waterfall village.

Tsubame seemed to contemplate on the offer for a while. He looked at Fei for his opinion. He looked down shyly.

Fei: I've never been to Konoha before...

Sighing slightly, Tsubame nodded, taking up on the offer. Amai's eyes brightened, if not just by a bit.

Tsubame: Then, we would be honored to come... If anything, we would at least be there for Amai.

He now had a genuine smile on his face, staring down at Amai. She lowered her eyes and smiled slightly as well.

Amai: I'm sure most of you are injured... We will need to support each other back to Konoha...

Tsubame helped Kurigari up, and Fei took Chendin on his shoulder as well as an unconcious Genji. The rest of the healthier ones supported those who could not walk properly. Taiyou stood up, refusing help, but found himself stumbling. Amai smiled softly at him when she helped him up. He blinked at her tiredly.
